Document how to run lombok when its path contains spaces

[dawidcxx]

As the title says, I am having this issue on a gradle project that was created in InteliJ (and worked just fine there with the lombok plugin). I do get normal intelisense but after adding the vmargs option the language server won't boot up.

Environment

• Operating System: W10
• JDK version: 8
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.8.1
• Java extension version: 0.0.8

Following https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/wiki/Lombok-support this is my settings.json

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
    "editor.insertSpaces": true,
    "editor.tabSize": 2,
    // C:\Program Files\Java
    "java.jdt.ls.vmargs": "-javaagent:C:\\Program Files\\Java\\lombok.jar -Xbootclasspath/a:C:\\Program Files\\Java\\lombok.jar"
}

I imagine this could a problem with

a:) the fact that gradle support is recent and its not a supported feature
b:) my path format is bad (in this case I recommend adding some example for windows to the wiki page for clarity)

It's probably option b. As a java newcommer I have no idea how the formats should look like and querying google is hard since I don't really know what to really ask for however basing myself off http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22310414/how-to-configure-lombok-in-eclipse-luna I think I kinda got right or did I?

Oh god, got around it by moving my lombok file to a different place (I assume the issue to be with "Program Files"). Now I have

   "java.jdt.ls.vmargs": "-javaagent:C:\\lombok.jar -Xbootclasspath/a:C:\\lombok.jar"

[fbricon]

looks like you'd need to escape the paths containing whitespaces. Probably like:

"java.jdt.ls.vmargs": "-javaagent:\"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\lombok.jar\" -Xbootclasspath/a:\"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\lombok.jar\""

I haven't checked, but let me know if it works so we can update the wiki page.

[dawidcxx]

Nope, same error.

Ok, I'll look into it next week.

I found a problem in the VM Args parsing. I should be able to provide a fix soon.

Fixed with 80f4443.
